Suzaki and Kagami win wrestling gold at Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games
In short
Japan's Suzaki Yui won gold in the women's 50kg wrestling event and Kagami Yuka won the women's 76kg title at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, according to NHK, which said both were competing at the games for the first time. Nippon TV reported Kagami's 76kg gold separately and said she is from Yamagata city. Neither report gave the finals' scores, opponents or the date the medals were won.
Why it matters
The two gold medals add to Japan's results at the Asian Games being held in Aichi and Nagoya, and both came from wrestlers NHK identifies as Olympic champions appearing at the games for the first time. The documents give no wider consequences, such as medal-table impact or qualification implications.

Confirmed by several sources

- There is no date in the documents for when either final was held. The documents give only their own publication times, not the competition date.
- Kagami's home city of Yamagata appears only in the Nippon TV report. Single-source detail; NHK's report does not mention it.
What local media are saying
Official sourcesNHK, the public broadcaster, carried both gold medals in a wider sports news roundup, naming the weight classes, the wrestlers' Olympic titles and the fact that each was making a first Asian Games appearance.
